What a loss to see Hakai shut down. Here's a highlight if you'd like to read a great piece from them: a 2015 article on how knowledge of the Cascadia subduction zone's major earthquake hazards have passed through Indigenous cultural knowledge and western science. hakaimagazine.com/features/gre...

The bad news is out: Hakai Magazine is shutting down at the end of 2024. We’re incredibly sad, but our team is proud of the great work that we’ve done these past 10 years. We have five more months of beautiful and unique coastal stories to come. The full announcement is here: t.co/rNqkpNGkHQ

Dinosaurs aren’t gone. They’ve just transformed. These bones are part of a long-necked dinosaur’s spine, preserved near the Colorado-Utah border in Rabbit Valley. The rocks were laid down about 150 million years ago, among fern and conifer-covered floodplains full of terrible lizards.

You got general questions about #geysers? Hit me with 'em. Yellowstone was my field site for 2 years studying the aero-acoustic emissions from three different geyser basins (love you long time, Sawmill Geyser!). But otherwise, see the USGS website for official info on recent events

There was a pretty big steam-driven explosion today at Yellowstone's Biscuit Basin. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured, but it does remind us that visiting volcanoes can be dangerous. (Oh yes, and Yellowstone has these often): www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth...

OK I'm gonna try my best to call her "Harris" and not refer to her by her first name, like every other man does to belittle women. I would ask you to do the same, regardless of how you feel about her as a person or candidate.
